Shop Pricing: The Most Boring Process in Neopia and What Neopets Can do to Help by Xandria Woolseyia

Today I saw that I had a lot of items in my shop… good, right? No. All of these items were set at 99,999 neopoints, and I wanted to make money, not just show off my items, seeing as they were the most random things in the world. So what do I decide to do? Go through the tedious process of pricing my items.

I get in a good rhythm; copy an item name and paste it into Microsoft Word. Copy the next item name, paste it. And so on and so forth until I have my first thirty items in Microsoft Word and can now look up their prices. Now I have to copy the names of all these same items again and paste them into the Shop Wizard search box. After refreshing many times, I find the actual lowest price and decide to put my item a few neopoints below that one. Looking at the clock, I realize all of this has taken me eight minutes, and what do I have to show but the price of one item?

Chocolate Factory Restocking Guide by Jonathan Teo

Most people are rich, but why? The main reason is restocking, and one favorite spot for their restocking is… the chocolate factory!!! =0

Items deflate when they are not rare and not needed, and rises when there is a demand for them (in quests, training schools) and that they are rare.

Therefore, in the chocolate factory, you should refresh every 3 seconds for consequently 30 minutes or more. When there is a restock, do not panic and refer to the points below.

Do not buy items priced at 2500np, they are scamming items as they are not famous for quests and deflate quickly and are what you call hts (hard to sell) items.

Freezing Up by battledoming101

To all those who have played Neopets or may currently do so, prepare to probably have your views on the entire game changed. This article, especially for hardcore players such as your battledomers, traders, or other rich entities, will challenge everything you’ve ever known.

First a question: How many of you know someone who has been iced? I’m sure most of you know at least one person. Now how many of those people claimed an unfair icing? Again, a fair amount. Now I’m sure some of these people have legitimate claims, but the rest may have slipped up at least once which resulted in an icing.

9 Steps to Success by max1234348

Secrets? No, there are no secrets to earning NPs. Just because you haven’t earned any yet doesn’t mean that you’re incapable of earning NPs. Play smart, work hard, and you’ll be a neoMillionaire in no time.

Step 1: Games
Play games. Even if you don’t “like” them, play them. They give you NPs whether you’re good at them or not. Play games–there are over 150 games; they all give NPs. I’ll say it again–play games. Got the point yet?

Step 2: Save
Don’t spend more than you have to. Keep your NPs in the Bank. If your pet is sick, go the Healing Springs in Faerieland every 30 minutes until she heals them.

Scamming: The Stupidity of it by crystalfire23456

Hi folks! I just want to share an experience I had with a scammer.

My neopets username is crystalfire254. Well, it was until a “friend” of mine stole all of my neopoints. I’d had a neopets account before, so knew all about the importance of restocking, playing the games, etc. Plus, my older sister had gotten bored with Neopets and gave me all her neopoints. So, in quite a short time, I had 500,000np. I had just heard about the upcoming war and told the friend who referred me to neopets (the one who took all of my NP) she might want to start training her pets.
